The CAUSE OF DELAY IN MAKING
FINAL HOMESTEAD PRo0Fs EXPLAIN
Er.-The following. from the VIM
field Sentinel. will apply equally as
we'll to this parish, where the same
complaint exists among those who
have entered ho,nestsads, aud are
anxiously waiting for their final
papers:
During the past ten months sew
eral parties from this parish have
made their final proofs on home
stead entries. and a. soon 40 the
testimony required Of each appIi-
cant was taken the evidence. TO-
gether with . sufficient amount to
pay the fees, commissions. ETC.,
were forwarded to the land Offices
at New Orleans aud NatchitocLes.
From the latter named Office fual
receipts wore invariably returned
in about two weeks. but nothing
as yet has been heard from proofs
sent to New Orleans, although it
has been eight months since the
firss ones were forwarded. As
several of the applicants were rath-
or uneasy as regards the final dis
position of their claims letter OF
inquiry was sent By the clerk to
the Register Of the New Orleans
Land Office, who replies AZ fol-
lows
"Rsferring to your letter Of the

that the whole fault has been With

great in the land Office that We have
not been able. by all the means Ut

which mus. have preference. There

THE NICHOLS CAMPAIGN.

Col. /. w. Patton, chairman o.
the Nichols Campaign Committee
has announced . series Of appoint.
ments for Gen. Nichols to meet
and address the people Of the State
The FIRST appointment is at Zachary
in the parish Of East Baton Rouge,
on the 25th instant.
We are pleased to see this step
on the part Of our Reform friends.
It is. As lar Is it goes. in accord
ance with old-fashioned politics
and . recognition Of the right Of
the people TO zee. and hear. and
speak With the candidates claiming
their support The people would
like to know directly from Gov.
Nichols the specific charges be has
to make against Democratic rule
in Louisiana since he retired from
Office. and specifically what reforms
he and his friends propose to give
them il he shall be again chosen
Governor.
The Reform press has kept up a
great clatter. but they have given
tie country not one specific charge
against Democratic rule from 1879
to 1887; nor have they outlined
one single reform they propose to
give rs. OF course. when Gen.
Nichols gets on the hustings be
will make all this clear.
It is claimed for him that he is
an able lawyer, an eminent states.
man and . man oper. candid, hon.
est and fearless in every sense Of
the word. OF course such man
will be explicit in talking to the
people.
We are glad. therefore. to say
that Gen. Nichols is to maks q
personal canvas of tho State. But

THE-sON-OF-HIs-FATHER.

The vote for Fred Grant for Secretary
of State in New York last week will be
apt to prove a good thing for the
Republican party. It will show that
party that the son-of-his-father act
cannot be successfully performed in this
country. Grant ran behind his ticket
almost everywhere. The voters Of this
country are not likely to forget that
| this is q republic. and being a republic
something more than ancestry Is neces-
sary to entitle mali to the confidence
of the public in his integrity and ability.
! In other countries the fathers name
may insure an Office to the son, but
here names don't count, and folks are
so peculiar that they want young
fellow to win his spurs before he wears
them. So pronounced is this sentiment
that it is believed the fact that ColouI
Grant is the son of his father was an
injury rather than an advantage to
him. He is man of good average
ability, and during his somewhat public
life he has done nothing which can be
counted against him; yet it was appa--
ent to the masses that he was nomi-
mated because he was the son of General
Grant, hence his rejection. If he had
stood alone. if he had not been
forced forward as the offspring of
great man, his chances of success would
ho,o
The overwhelming defeat of Fred.
Grant in New York. will put stop to
the talk about nominating Robert T,
Lincoln for the Presidency. The name
of Lincoln is no more potent than that
of Grant, and neither is influential
when it is not supported by brains and
ability. While the American people
shall remain democratic at heart,
George Washington will be no more to
them than Bill Smith, unless the indi-
vidual bearing the name of Washington
is greater than Smith

Archbishop COrrigan, who has been
questioned in regard to McGIyrn's
statement, says there is absolutely no
truth in it, anu intimates that the
church has done with the doctor until
the latter humbles himself and complies
with all the requirements imposed.
McGlynn may be feeling his way back
into the church, or it may be that his
political heresies have turned his head.

ABOUT LAWS.

If laws were applied in their spirit
now and then, and not always literally,
they wouldn't so often be made ridicu-
lous III their operation. There is a
Congressional law forbiddIng the i'm
portatiOn Of foreigners under contract
or agreement to perform labor or ser
vice in the United States, the penalty
being fine of $1,000. 1t also delares
that such contract laborers shall not be
permitted to land, but shall be sent
back to the country whence they came.
The statute was intended to check the
the importation of cheap Chinese and
other Ignorant labor, and applied to that
ent would prove bene6cent law; but
its literal Interpretation is fast bringing
it into disrepute. A number of in
stances of unnecessary strictness in ap-
plication have occurred lately, and
others are now under discussion. Last
spring Kentucky farm owner went to
Scotland and engaged the services of a
skilled dairyman, but upon reaching
New York the man was sent back by
the too technical officials.
Senator Stanford has done and is do
Ing much to develop the grapeindustry
of California; he has grown tired
of Chinese labor. and a little
while ago it was announced that ne
was making arrangements for bringing
over one hundred trained vineyardists
from France. No sooner does this an
nouncement appear than it is declared
in the press that his F1enchmen, who
are to dispIace two or three times their
number of the hated Chinese, will not
be permitted to land.
But the most ridiculous case is that
OF the pastor for Plymouth Church.
Recently the church proposed to en-
plOy the Rev. Charles Berry, of Eng
land, to occupy the pulpit of
Beecher, and at once opened
with the gentleman.
The attention of the District Attorney
having been called to the fact. he said
it would be his duty to proceed against
the church for engaging the services of
q foreigner. A member of the advisory
board said the church would at once
pay the 6ne Of $1,000, whereupon he
was informed that Berry would not be
permitted to land, or if he did land,
that ne would be sent back to England.
Thus the law will have to be openly
violated by the church and the viola
ton winked at by the officials, or
will be deprived of Its pastor.
There is rank sbsurdity in good
many of our laws.

MeGLYNN.

As DR.. McGlynn, the eK-priest pOliti'
clan, grows older he seems to be losing
his sense, or else he thinks other people
are losing theirs. Before beginning a
political address in New York. the
other day, he told his audience that he
expected to soon be back in his priestly
office, and that, too. through no solicit
tation on his part, but through the
confession of undue haste and error on
the part of others; he didn't say it in
so many words, but conveyed the i'm
preston that the Pope was about
to restore him to his Office and
rebuke the church magnates in
America who had been instrumental
in turning him out. The announce
ment was surprise to his hearers, and
equally SO to the thousands who read it
in the newspapers; it seemed so i'm
probable to most people who are at
all familiar with the ways and the
history Of the Catholic Church. The
church rarely commits an error in q
case ike that of DR.. McGIynn, and if it
does err it is slow indeed to confess the
fact. 1t can better afford to lose a DR..
MoGlynn than it can afford to admit
that it is capable of doing wrong to q
priest. In this instance the church
cannot confess that it erred, because
if it were ever right it was right
when 1t demanded from McGlyna
recantation of his wild land theories
and required him to discontinue his
IN party politics. To ap-
prove his course or to permit it, would
be to destroy the church itself. An
other thing, the Catholic Church does
not make overtures to the excommuni-
Gated. 1t imposes conditions, and
